Sitting peacefully, in amongst one of Scotland's most historical landscapes, is this delightful cottage. Located in a magical-looking woodland, in a quiet and secluded location, visitors will feel far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Experience total relaxation during down-time at the stone-built house or head outdoors for a day of adventure nearby. Just 1.5 miles from the doorstep is Achnabreac, a site that's home to one of the finest set of pre-historic cup and ring marked rocks in Britain. It is also an adrenaline junkie's playground with an awesome mountain biking trail on offer. There's plenty to do moments from this property including boating on the Crinan Canal and visiting ruined landmarks including Castle Sween and Carnasserie Castle.

This bright and airy holiday home is filled with natural light making every room feel extremely welcoming. Step into the large entrance porch and into the hallway before exploring the spacious rooms that await you. Walk three steps down into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner: a fantastic area for socialising with friends or family. Light the cosy wood burner during a relaxing evening indoors or open the French doors and discover a glorious decked balcony with stunning views across the village of Cairnbaan. The kitchen is well-equipped with the essentials to cook scrummy meals during your stay and even comes with a washing machine. Enjoy dinner at the dining table before retiring to the comfy chairs in the lounge area. When it's time for bed, choose from a Super-King or Twin room, both located up three stairs. An ensuite with shower alongside bathroom with a shower over the bath, and a separate WC, complete the property.

A decked balcony with garden furniture is a wonderful place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or celebratory drink. Outside the cottage, a steep path leads down to a loch, which was once the site of a 19th-century slate quarry. Young children must be supervised on this path.

Absolutely stunning location and view , worth every penny to wake up too ! You need to have a good big / truck car to get up the path way and there is no WiFi but I liked that. The bothy is so cozy and well equipped with appliances and the shower in the main bedroom is fabulous after a days walking , will definitely be back

A lovely warm cottage. Great to have comfortable seating and bed. A wonderful view across the valley. Endless bird life to the feeder we put out. Peace and quiet in bucket loads. No good if youve got a sports car as the track up is rough. A short walk to the Crinan canal. Good shops in Lochgilphead. Excellent wet fish shop and butchers there.

A fantastic stay here, perfect location for many activities from forest walks, mountain biking, wildlife watching, the cottage has everything you need for a comfortable relaxing stay, lack of street lights makes for fantastic star gazing and we got a great view of the Perseid Meteor Shower, even had visits from a Red Squirrel.

Very comfortable and spacious cottage. Good value for money. Spectacular views and if you are lucky enough to get the sun it shines on the decking until 9pm in the summer. The road to the cottage is uneven and requires a slow careful drive. Nice forest walks on your doorstep.
